Carol passes torch Here Carol Narup, who had been the chapter president for 5 years, passes the torch to Jim Arimond, the new chapter president.

The symbol of office is the famous photograph of the Earth rise taken from lunar orbit by astronaut Jim Lovell of Apollo 8 and 13 fame.

Jim spoke to the Chicago chapter in 1989 and the tradition was born of passing this photograph from the outgoing to the incoming president.
